I am a complete and total sucker for anything chiffon and pleated. This floaty blue number is another find from my new favorite place in the world, Adamstown (a.k.a. Antiques Capitol of the USA!) and cost me only twenty bones. I wore it on New Years Eve with a giant fancy necklace and glittery shoes, and now I'm all about dancing around my apartment in it with nothing but flowers in my hair and bare feet. You can take the girl out of San Francisco...

ellegirl japan


I was beyond thrilled when I was approached last month about having my apartment featured in ELLEgirl Japan, especially because Japan has always been at the very top of my list of places I'm dying to visit. It's fun sharing my new apartment because it still feels like the perfect blank canvas, a space that is completely my own and a large part of my new life in Philadelphia. I'm still tweaking things here and there but it's already becoming a cozy home in my eyes. Perhaps once I acquire a few more pieces for my Gene Wilder shrine I will feel really solid. As for what the article above actually says, I can't even begin to remember, but I can guarantee it's super dorky. And I'm actually 28 (the article says 27), but I may have been enjoying a glass or two of red wine while responding to questions, so...

minor themes


My grandmother's class ring circa 1943, a prized possession. She also gave me the amazing pink glass hand (the blue one is from Bohemian Bisoux Vintage).


A 1950's beaded top from Bohemian Bisoux Vintage and a few of my sillier books.

Flowers leftover from a photo shoot: green eyed roses & hydrangeas, two favorites.

An amazing old painting from an antique mall in Adamstown, my favorite find as of late.

Newest additions to the always growing vintage brooch collection.
